I'm no fan of Reagan, but there are enough who are. Don't they want to know how far they have veered to the extreme right of their beloved icon? We can build (independent) support by running ads in Wisconsin (and everywhere else) by using Reagan's own words, "Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost!" captured in this video.
The attack on collective bargaining and unions is an assault on freedom. Frame early, hammer this message. I'm writing this more as a heads up, if anyone has the time and energy to invest in writing a substantive diary, please be my guest.

REAGAN'S LABOR DAY SPEECH
We have history on our side.
We should use this video to hammer out our message.
I know, it's Reagan, but he is a great messenger.
The media should ask those professed Reaganlovers how they reconcile their position on labor and bargaining rights with those of Reagan? (I can imagine Sarah Palin squirming in her chair looking for an answer convoluted enough for fox viewers to say "hey, that's so crazy i believe it!"
and what about making reagan t-shirts?
it is a fight between "corporations and their get away with anything by changing laws by buying politicians" and the american people. Who has access to the American Dream?
Where is our messaging machine?
PLEASE STEP UP!
